'' The name Pies (pronounced "p-yes") stands for Program Invocation and
|
|
Execution Supervisor. This utility starts and controls execution of
|
|
external programs, called components. Each component is a
|
|
stand-alone program, which is executed in the foreground. Upon
|
|
startup, pies reads the list of components from its configuration
|
|
file, starts them, and remains in the background, controlling their
|
|
execution. If any of the components terminates, the default action
|
|
of Pies is to restart it. However, it can also be programmed to
|
|
perform a variety of another actions such as, e.g., sending mail
|
|
notifications to the system administrator, invoking another external
|
|
program, etc.
|
|
|
|
Pies can be used for a wide variety of tasks. Its most obious use
|
|
is to put in backgound a program which normally cannot detach itself
|
|
from the controlling terminal, such as, e.g., minicom. It can
|
|
launch and control components of some complex system, such as
|
|
Jabberd or MeTA1 (and it offers much more control over them than the
|
|
native utilities). Finally, it can replace the inetd utility!
